When you apply this to writing ads (getting stories from\u00a0clients, the market, etc) you&#8217;ll have more fodder (for emails, ads,\u00a0blogs, videos, webinars, whatever it is you sell with) than you can\u00a0ever possibly use.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">All that &#8220;TMI&#8221; fodder is handed to you on a silver platter<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Absolutely free.<\/p>\n<p>And, without you doing any work.<\/p>\n<p>(Other than asking questions.)<\/p>\n<p>Now, &#8220;fast forward&#8221; to today:<\/p>\n<p>One of the many things direct marketing legend Jay Abraham taught\u00a0in the Titans DVD was an advanced method he uses to draw\u00a0information out of clients and his market that works even more\u00a0powerfully than stories. His method is based on the ancient\u00a0philosopher Socrates&#8230; and after hearing it, I finally &#8220;got&#8221; how\u00a0he is able to invade and conquer markets at ease (not selling\u00a0eBooks, but to put his clients at the top of entire industries &#8212;\u00a0like he did with Icy Hot), and create an endless string of super\u00a0successful marketing campaigns seemingly out of thin air.<\/p>\n<p>(Which is one of the things he&#8217;s known for.)<\/p>\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t spend a lot of time on this in the DVD&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>But, even the little time he does spend is a power education in\u00a0market and product analysis you simply aren&#8217;t going to hear in any\u00a0Internet marketing guru course.<\/p>\n<p>Just another example of what&#8217;s inside.<\/p>\n<p>More:<\/p>\n<p>The deadline to get these DVD&#8217;s along with the $5k+ of bonuses I\u00a0will send you when you order from my affiliate link below is\u00a0looming.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight at midnight the link goes down.<\/p>\n<p>And, so does your chance to get:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1.
